i'm convinced sleep token are stem girlies because the amount of physics, maths and chemistry in their lyrics hmmm. lemme list all the references below the cut <3 (just as an fyi: this is a joke and i'm not being serious!! i'm just pointing out all the science references in their songs, dw)

alright, bit of a stretch to start but: "sulfur on your breath, granite in my chest." - granite from take me back to eden (2023). sulfur obviously being an element and granite is a rock (i'm not a chem student, i do astrophysics sorry idk anything else skdjsjd)

i'm being really picky but like "these days i'm a circuit board, integrated hardware you cannot afford." - aqua regia from take me back to eden (2023). vessel is an engineering girlie!! /j also i could point out the latin title is a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid sooo

still in aqua regia, we have "sugar on the blood cells, carbon on the brain." mhm, speak stem girlie!

aqua regia is full of stem textbooks: "oxytocin running in the ether. silicon ballrooms. subatomic interactions if it's all good. gold rush, acid flux. saturate me, i can't get enough. cold love, hot blood." so the debrief: oxytocin is a hormone. ether are a class of compounds. the rest i think is self-explanatory, as they're elements and cute little stem terms oxox

i love stretching. "your viscera welcome me in." - vore from take me back to eden (2023). viscera are the large organs inside the body, including the heart, stomach, lungs, and intestines. biology girlies!! /j

more stretching <3 "who encrypted your dark gospel in body language? synapses snap back in blissful anguish." - ascensionism from take me back to eden (2023). encryption is the process of encoding information!! a computer science girlie!! then synapses are the places where neurons connect and communicate with each other <3

"half algorithm, half deity. glitches in the code or gaps in a strange dream." who ate a programming textbook?! /j

"digital demons make the night feel heavenly." side note but i think we should start calling trolls digital demons.

"lipstick, chemtrails, red flags, pink nails." has someone maybe studied chemtrails in their chemistry classes hmmm? /j

as i'm an astrophysics student i have to mention this: "the shifting states you follow me through." - the apparition from take me back to eden (2023). states, huh? liquid turning into a solid time is it? /j

"i feel my shadown dissolving." - rain from take me back to eden (2023). a metaphor or a chemistry textbook? /j

"it's that chemical cut that i can get down with." have many chemical cuts, huh?? /j

i'm an astrophysics girlie (gn) so i have to include this one: "a dangerous disposition somehow refracted in light, reflected in sound."

"i dream in phosphorescence." - take me back to eden from take me back to eden (2023). phosphorescence is a type of photoluminescence related to fluorescence. i mean, come on! the rest lyric? really?

"sink porcelain stained, choking up brain matter and make-up. just two days since the mainframe went down and i'm still messed up." biology and software engineering much? /j

"if my fate is a bad collision." - euclid from take me back to eden (2023). collision? huh are you a particle, hm? also euclid was a greek mathematician ! currently in my special relativity notes i have written "flat euclidean space"! riddle me that, sleep token. /j

"just orbiting the vacuum i am." - atlantic from this place will become your tomb (2021). yes, orbiting like the sun and moon and planets, right?? /j

"push down into membranes and layers, creating a slow dissection." - like that from this place will become your tomb (2021). yeah we get it, you're a biology student /j

"you lie an inch apart on your own continuum." - the love you want from this place will become your tomb (2021). continuum, huh?

"and though echoing futures are the buckling sutures." - fall for me from this place will become your tomb (2021). i bet you've seen many sutures huh dr. vessel! /j

right prepare for a lot of references here folks. "she's not acid nor alkaline." - alkaline from this place will become your tomb (2021). do i really have to explain the actions of this chem girlie? /j

"ooh, let's talk about chemistry 'cause i'm dying to melt through to the heart of her molecules 'til the particles part like holy water. if anything, she's an undiscovered element." i'm sure you'd love to infodump about your favourite subject! /j

"'cause i am broken into fractions." - distraction from this place will become your tomb (2021). i bet you deal with fractions all the time, you maths nerd!! /j

"and we go beyond the farthest reaches where the light bends and wraps beneath us and i know as you collapse into me." - telomeres from this place will become your tomb (2021). light bending? how very relativity of you. also telomeres are structures made from DNA sequences and proteins found at the ends of chromosomes.

"and i choke myself on sacred vapour." - high water from this place will become your tomb (2021). vapour because it's changed state, right? /j

"keep up on the charm offensive anymore." - missing limbs from this place will become your tomb (2021). i'm doing particle physics right now so i know exactly what a charm quark is! also limbs??? hello again dr. vessel /j

"'cause i look for scarlet and you look for ultraviolet." - higher from sundowning (2019). using ultraviolet filters for your astrophotography are you?? /j

"let the impulse to love and the instinct to kill entangle to one." - say that you will from sundowning (2019). entangle? entanglement? quantum entanglement? i'm connecting the dots.

"i want to roll the numbers. i want to feel my stars align again even if the earth breaks like burnt skin." - blood sport from sundowning (2019). an astrophysics fr /j

"and somewhere, somewhere the atoms stopped fusing." more stem!

"and out there, stuck in a quantum pattern, tangled with what i never said." this is something a theoretical physicist would say is all i'm saying. /j

now you have to listen to sleep token to hear these bangers >:)

#i've been obsessively listening to nothing but st for like a straight week #the brain rot got to me okay #sleep token #elle's interests hyperfixiations and shenanigans #escxelle

everyone must go an watch the way on bbc right now!!

it's one of the best things i've seen in ages.

it's written and directed by welsh people. it's set and filmed largely in wales. it has a plethora of wonderful welsh actors and actresses. it's totally made by welsh people FOR welsh people.

i loved the pure welshness of it: the relations to the story of king arthur (orginally a welsh story); the feeling of hiraeth the whole time. i'm going to be thinking a lot about this mini-series for a very long time.

#it's so so so good #i'll never stop recommending or talking about it fr #escxelle #elle's interests hyperfixiations and shenanigans #the way #the way bbc #bbc the way #wales #cymru #welsh tv #hiraeth #<- adding the hiraeth tag to reclaim it back to being about wales #welsh #cymraeg #teledu cymraeg #king arthur #brenin arthur

happy birthday to the silly that is kel !!

it's kel omori's birthday today (11th november) <33

have some of my headcanons that no one asked for:

he uses mainly he/him pronouns but he really wouldn't care if you use any others

he's cis on paper but he's very fluid with his gender expression and is very "gender is a performance"

he's also aroace <33

he has adhd !!

he's the type of friend to randomly buy people gifts with no explanation other than "i saw this and thought of you" <33

he's also the type of friend who always checks on others to see how they're doing (even if they don't check up on him

he's a big people pleaser and will find it hard to say no to people (which gives him big trauma and yes he has trauma !!! idk how you can play the game and think any differently)

he deals with things internally more than externally so his problems are often overlooked

he also hates being a burden so will downplay his own problems and laugh them off with "it's nothing!" (it is not nothing)

when comforting people, he will try to make them laugh by being silly and telling jokes

he'll also comfort people by giving them nice things (i.e. if he's outside he'll find a cool bug or leaf or if he's inside he'll find a soft plush to hold)

he's emotionally immature and struggles with emotion regulation due to his adhd so he doesn't really know how to deal with emotions very well

he is a golden retriever

in the future, he won't go to college/university but instead he'll volunteer at the local youth centre and teaches the kids how to play basketball!

he'll be a gym teacher!

because he won't go to college, he'll get a lot of pressure from his extended family, especially because hero went

he's a glass half full kinda guy

he's a summer child at heart (even though he was born in november)

his favourite colour is orange of course

orange joe is his safe food/drink

he has a hyperfixation on the colour orange so anything he sees that is orange in colour he buys - his room is also very orange

the reason he got into basketball was because basketballs are orange too

he always makes a wish on 11:11

his lucky/favourite number is 11!

i have many more but i cba to type them all out

feel free to include your own!!

dydd gwyl dewi hapus!

in honour of dydd gwyl dewi/st david's day, i wish to share this banger with you all that i used to sing all the time every year! it's called "Mis Mawrth Unwaith Eto" which means "March the first again"

the lyrics are under the cut! (both welsh and english translation with annotations!)

Cymraeg:

"Mis Mawrth unwaith eto*, a'r gwanwyn wedi dod;

Dydd Gwyl Dewi ydw hi.

Mis Mawrth unwaith eto, a'r gwanwyn wedi dod;

Dydd Gwyl Dewi ydw hi.

Dewi Sant, Dewi Sant, cofiwn Dewi,

Cofiwn am y pethau bach a'r pethau mawr**.

Dewi Sant, Dewi Sant, ffrind y bobl, ffrind y plant,

Rhaid i ninnau fod fel Dewi'n dda bob awr***."

English translation: (by me, pls correct me if i'm wrong!)

"March the first is here again*, and spring has come;

It's St. David's Day.

March the first is here again, and spring has come;

It's St. David's Day.

Saint David, Saint David, we remember David,

We remember the little things and the great things**.

Saint David, Saint David, friend of the people, friend of the children,

We should all be good like David all the time***."

*Dydd Gwyl Dewi/St. David's Day is celebrated on March 1st every year!

**This is in reference to Dewi Sant's most famous quote: "Gwenwch y pethau bychain mewn bywyd."/"Do the little things in life."

***Literally 'bob awr' means 'every hour'.
